‘Star Wars’ should be filmed in Spain… ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’? ‘Andre’?

As far as is known from the official channels (‘Star Wars’, Disney+), ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ has not given the green light to a second season. It is true that everyone involved, with Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen in the lead, would be more than willing, but Lucasfilm has not commented on the matter. Despite this, there is speculation that its second season is not only already on the way, but that it was filmed in Spain.

Levante-EMV, the Valencian newspaper that affirms that galactic series, tells it He is already looking for extras to start filming. The City of Arts and Sciences would be the chosen setting to capture some scenes of the alleged season not yet confirmed, new sequences for the aforementioned television drama which would have 700 extras. Such publication ensures that, obviously, Ewan McGregor is part of those involved in the production that Valencia would have chosen as part of its scenarios, and plays with the possibility that Hayden Christensen, Liam Neeson, Rupert Friend and Joel Edgerton will also visit the Spanish city . Between February 1 and 3, said casting would take place at the Oceanic Hotel, a so-called look for those who are interested in appearing in “Pilgrim”, which is cited as the working title of the second season of “Obi-Wan Kenobi”.

That season 2 of said series is about to be filmed in our country would be surprising not only because Disney has not communicated its plans for a possible continuation, but because the first season was filmed mainly in a studio in Los Angeles. From eCartelera we contacted Disney+ Spain to confirm whether the above casting is looking for participants for the filming of “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and not another galactic series, for example, but we received no reply.

There are several upcoming “Star Wars” adventures that have already been filmed or will be filmed soon, among them ‘The Acolyte’, whose production started in November, and ‘Andor’a series starring Diego Luna that would fit the narrative.

What if it was “Andor”?

While ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ has not even confirmed its second season, ‘Andor’ creator Tony Gilroy has already teased that production on season 2 of his series started in November last year. But not only would this be a point in his favor, but the focus of the work of ‘Andor’ and its relationship to the aforementioned working title make it a more than plausible possibility.

‘Pilgrim’ is an alleged working title in connection with both ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ and ‘Andor’, a fiction that has attracted particular attention in terms of billing. for his refusal to make massive use of The Volume technology, which the series centered on the beloved Jedi master made extensive use of. Precisely for this creative choice, ‘Andor’ ended up shooting its first season between Scotland and the United Kingdom, locations initially erroneously associated with “Obi-Wan Kenobi”. Namely, the precedent is there, when in early 2021 a well-known (albeit dubious) English medium stumbled upon a shoot in Buckinghamshire, the McGregor series was quickly mentioned, but the actor himself had to deny it shortly after because the matter had confused his own family. We will see in this case who clarifies our doubts.
